Incoming Sophomore Needs Help

So I chose some really bad classes next year and I don’t know what to do (for context I go to a public HS with ~650 class size that offers some APs). There are 3 classes I REALLY wanna take: AP Stats, AP CSA, and PLTW: Principles of Engineering (my school offers some PLTW courses, and it’s an honors weighted grade). The problem now is next year I’m scheduled to take AP Environmental Science, which now I really regret haven chosen. I emailed my counselor a week ago to switch me to stats, but he hasn’t responded and it’s probably too late now given its summer. I’m looking to also do some research projects this year involving ML and robotics, which is why I want to take stats and POE (although since POE isn’t an AP class I don’t rlly wanna prioritize it over stats) I really want to just take stats next year. CSA would also be great since I have some programming knowledge already but I don’t have any spots left, so I’d have to take that junior or senior year. I could also drop my language class that I’m taking next year too since I’m self studying for the AP test for that anyways. Although that would mean throughout high school, I only took one year of language (last year). Idk if that’s a good choice. But if I do drop it, I could take POE or CSA. For now I just really want stats to replace APES but I don’t know how else to go about this. When should I take which class?
